K1497 UFO Push Type Clutch Set (for G4)
After a long time development, K Factory moves the clutch set design concept further ahead.
UFO push type clutch set is an all new innovative clutch set for gas on-road cars.
Many new concepts are used on this new clutch set, such as guided centrifugal shoes, weighted centrifugal shoes, new material, etc.
With all these new features, the power delivery & overall performance increases at least over 50%. Let's see how it works below.
Features：
Guided groove design
Several new material & designs
1. Guided rail for better performance
Most recent push type clutch sets use centrifugal shoes to push clutch shoe mount & clutch shoe based on centrifugal force.
Normally, 3 or 4 centrifugal shoes used (depends on different brands) & these shoes work individually to push the clutch shoe mount.
As there are only 3 or 4 pins used to separate centrifugal shoes, these shoes may move in different directions.
The power delivery & shoe wearing can become bad because of this non-simultaneous timing.
To completely solve this problem, K Factory designers develop a clutch shoe mount with guided grooves below to guide centrifugal shoes.
With the guided grooves, centrifugal shoes can always push the mount at the same time & same direction.
Less slippery & more direct power delivery can be achieved with this new design.
Power can be 100% delivered to the clutch set, then, the car without any problem.
In addition, this clutch shoe mount is made of special lightweight aluminum material & hard coated to become light & strong.
As it's a mount, not a plate, it is much stronger than the plate used on other brands.
It can stand very high power & doesn't deform. The shape of the clutch shoe mount looks like UFO. That's the reason for the name.
2. New material & designs used
K Factory also used many different new materials & designs on this new clutch set. Let's see what technology you can find on it. Lightweight Alum. flywheel
Hard coated lightweight flywheel
To have less rotating mess, the flywheel diameter is still small & adequate. Three balanced holes are drilled to reduce some weights. Aluminum material also helps to keep the overall weight as light as possible. Less rotating mess always means faster acceleration. Hard-coated treatment can stand long time starting process & also provide a smooth slideway for flyweights. In addition, special tools are used to install 3 pins to make sure they are mounted firmly & vertically to the mount.
Special centrifugal shoes
Weighted centrifugal shoe
To have a better "punch" power, weighted centrifugal shoes are used. Two "very heavy" posts are installed on each centrifugal shoe, totally 6pcs used. They help to push harder & achieve better acceleration. Long lasting material is used to produce these shoes to stand long time usage. The performance can be the same during the whole race. As they are precisely machined, they can engage simultaneously & perfectly in the sliding grooves.
New generation clutch shoe
Clutch shoe with new features
Clutch shoe is one of the key points of the overall clutch performance. UFO clutch shoe isn't only designed to have large contact area with clutch housing, but also precisely chamfered to work with clutch housing. The clutch shoe material gets a good balanced between long lasting & good friction coefficient. It can work the same way in the whole race. No fading problem. Engine power can be 100% transferred to the car without any problem.
Easy gear remove design
Gear remove design
On the UFO clutch housing, you can find 6 special holes. These holes are specially designed to work with Team Magic gear remove tool. Normally, pinion gears or clutch housing get damaged when you try to remove them. Now, Team Magic comes up with a new idea to remove pinion gears. The clutch housing & pinion gear are hold by mounts, instead of traditional wrenches. The tool is very handy & protects the clutch housing/gears from damaged.
More better parts used
Clutch nut with thread lock
To make the UFO clutch set the best in the market, many good parts are included. For example, K Factory adds thread lock on the clutch nut to make sure that spring tension can be the same during the race. Small idea, but works perfectly. To work with latest powerful engine & new UFO design, hard red spring is included to get the best performance from the clutch set. For reliability, high grade bearings & thrust bearings are used. They are expensive, but smooth & reliable. As UFO clutch set is good to work with all powerful engines of different brands, several size shims are included to fit with different crankshaft lengths.
High quality bearings
Hard spring included
Different shims included
With all these new & cool features, the overall transmission performance of UFO clutch set has gone up at least 50%. Yon can tell the difference when you first use it. In addition, as there are many new materials used, the durability also increases at least 60%. The performance is very stable during every race. To have 100% power delivery, K Factory UFO push type clutch set is a must
